If he tells us what the team’s plans are most reasonable people can accept it, but we need to hear it and hear it often. Rebuilding is not a bad word. Neither is transition. Neither are they excuses, if that is his concern for not using one or the other.

So according to Rufus, Carl hasn't done
enough PR spin.
Carl, you need to beat it into our tiny little brains---"We are in transition, we are in transition, we are in transition, we are in transition..."
Even if the GM's strategy for winning a Super Bowl hasn't paid off in the first 18 years, most "reasonable" fans would accept the pretense that Carl is taking the right steps to one day make it all pay off?
I could see making this argument for a GM who has been on the job for two years without getting over .500 yet, but 18 years later? Come on!
